: I am sure that the Minister is better placed to comment on that particular aspect.
May I also draw attention to the Committee's conclusion and recommendation 8? It states:"““Most significantly, we were staggered that, so close to the proposed date for making payments, and nearly a year after that date was announced by the RPA, the Minister could still not give us a definitive statement about when payments would be made, or whether they would be full or partial payments.””"
I hope that my right hon. Friend the Member for Fylde (Mr. Jack) and his honourable rapporteurs on that Committee will agree that one of the most sinister developments, to which my right hon. and learned Friend the Member for Sleaford and North Hykeham (Mr. Hogg) just alluded, is that Ministers are distancing themselves from holding any degree of responsibility for agencies such as the RPA. That is totally unacceptable.
